North Korea has ramped up its crackdown on tight jeans, dyed hair, and other styles showing 'capitalist flair,' sources in the country told Radio Free Asia.
In particular, the country's Socialist Patriotic Youth League is targeting women in their 20s and 30s, the US non-profit news outlet said, citing an unnamed source.
"The youth league's patrols are cracking down on young people who wear long hair down to their waists, and those who dye their hair brown, as well as people who wear clothes with large foreign letters and women who wear tight pants," the source told the outlet. If caught, they must wait on the side of the road until the patrols have finished combing the area. Then, authorities will take them to the Youth League office, where they must"confess" their crimes in written letters. Offenders are only released after someone brings them"acceptable" clothes to wear, the source continued.
